Now Is The Time To Remember Your Past
As strange as it may seem, there are far more people on this planet who believe in past lives, also known as reincarnation, than there are who don't. For some, reincarnation or at least the concept thereof, forms the very foundation of their religion. This is especially true in the case of Hindus and Buddhists although this also applies to many other religions as well. For others, reincarnation may simply offer the most common sense explanation for the many mysteries in life.
Maintain a Diary or Journal of Experiences
All too often we are presented with very real and very valuable clues with regards to a past life, only to brush it aside, believing the experience to be of little significance. It's for this exact reason why it's of such importance to keep a record of events by writing them down. Furthermore, it's of particular importance that you record the emotional effect any given experience may have had on you as our emotions are more often than not, our strongest and most accurate indicators.
Throughout your daily routine keep an eye out for clues. For instance make a list of what you like and what you don’t like. This may include things from your childhood, the foods you like best, your preferences for fashion and your favorite cultures, climate, historical periods and architecture. You should also consider including how you feel about the various skills and talents you have along with your phobias and fears, the traits of your personality, the way you look physically and anything else which plays a big part in your life such as your pets, what you do for a living and those strange déjà vu experiences you have every now and again.
On many occasions, experiences from past lives can show themselves in a dream so for this reason,it's advisable to keep a note of your dreams, especially when you feel there is any indication that some aspects of a dream represent a past life. Keep in mind that dreams can often be a combination of of past and present experiences. Also, because the human mind can be very receptive to suggestion, one should suggest to yourself just as you're going to sleep that you wish to recall memories from past lives. It is then essential that you write down the details of any dream follow such suggestions.
Regression Therapy
Of course not everyone is in a position to meet with a past life regression therapist but if you can then it is certainly advisable that you do. Being professionals in this field, these people are trained and certified to offer guidance as well as to assist you in understanding any of the information you may receive. The International Association of Regression, Research and Therapies, together with the International Association of Past Life Therapists, both train and certify people in this field and are therefor able to offer assistance should you encounter any problems finding a reputable therapist.
Benefits of Meditation
Meditation is another extremely powerful means of being able to discover more about any of your past lives. Unfortunately, because meditation is more often than not very personal, many people encounter trust issues concerning the information they receive. The best advice anyone could give you in this respect, is simply that you need to place your trust in your own sixth sense.
Meditation is often described as a dream-like state of mind and of course, to a great extent this is true. Just as in a dream, images will come and go and for the most part, these images provide us with potential clues as to our past lives. For this reason, one should always be ready to write your recollections down on some paper so that you can ponder over them at a later time when it is more convenient for you. Being highly susceptible to suggestion, your mind is able to recall any information which you instruct it to but on the other hand, if you don't believe that it is possible to recall past life experiences, then it simply won't be possible.
Some people choose to meditate with sound whilst others prefer a visual stimulus like the flame of a candle. For those who use sound, it can be a recorded meditation session from a therapist or simply a piece of music or sounds such as the \"om\" of Tibetan bells.
A more recent discovery has also surfaced lately which has been showing some very promising results. Know as \"binaural beats\", this new technology involves playing sound waves of different frequencies in each ear. So far, results tend to suggest that this process an instantaneous feeling of deep relaxation, much the same as experienced by the famous Zen monks when they meditate.
Rather than force yourself to use any given method, simply ensure that you have an area which is calm and quiet.
First of all you need be in a comfortable sitting or lying down position and in a positive mindset. When unwelcome issues enter your mind, acknowledge them and let them pass. This may not be so easy at the beginning but with practice you will soon be able to do this. Whilst not expecting anything except to be able to relax, focus on your heart. Ask any questions which may arise and then let them go. You will find, when you are least expecting it, the answer will come to you.
The pictures you get in your mind will help you to determine something in your life whether or not you believe in reincarnation. Of course, you may not be sure the images are from a previous life but sometimes people are able to piece together sufficient information to carry out research and verify the names, places and occasions which have arisen.
The fact that many people learn they have shared past lives with the same person they love in this life, is nothing short of extraordinary. Of course these people may have shared a different type of relationship in their past life that what they do in this life . For example, a brother in this life may not have been a brother in a past life.
Irrespective of your personal beliefs, the chances are that if you take the plunge and experience regression, you'll find it to be both helpful and extremely interesting.
